The Hill House Museum Frederiksberg

Worth a visit 💫 Bakkehuset means the house on the hill, because in the 18th century it was located on a hill in the middle of the countryside. Today it is the oldest house in Frederiksberg and a small oasis in the middle of the city. Bakkehuset is an authentic Golden Age home and in Kamma and Knud Lyne Rahbeks time (1802-30) the house was one of the important literary gathering-places in the 19th century. The salon culture unfolded around the tea table in the yellow corner room. A short film about H.C.Andersens relation to the Rahbek family visualizes the way of life of the 19th century. Really lovely is the collection of the small artistic cardboard boxes that Kamma Rahbek created herself - a common hobby of the bourgeoisie around 1800. At the museum cash desk you get a booklet with the explanations of the exhibited objects – so as not to disturb the historical impression of the house. Staff was really friendly, informative and helpful.

Interesting museum, you walk around the house more or less as it was. Shame the garden cage was closed for winter.

Super cozy museum by Carlsbergbyen. Old living rooms with furnishings from various guests in the house. The upper floor was an exhibition about Frederikke Brun, which was super nice! They experiment with sound additions which are quite good and atmospheric. 5/5!

Very cozy little museum. They managed to get a creative atmosphere in the house but different things presented where you could take a minute and create something yourself. Everything in the same spirit as the house was used for in the 19th century.
